Machine with Soul
Oil on canvas
Dim.: 100x100cm
"Machine with Soul" is a confrontational and symbolic portrait that exposes the duality between the human and the mechanical, the sensitive and the synthetic. Divided into two visual hemispheres, the composition presents, on one side, a softly illuminated human face and, on the other, a metallic-looking, textured, and dark structure with a burning red eye—as if the machine's soul were alive, pulsating, and observant.
The work questions what is real and what is created, what we feel and what we process. There is a constant tension between flesh and circuit, where the boundaries of identity blur. The oil technique enhances this fusion with delicacy and intensity: the skin is velvety, the volumes are well-defined, and the texture of the synthetic side creates physical and emotional contrast.
"Machine with Soul" stands as one of the artist's most conceptual works, a visual reflection on humanity in a changing world—where emotion and algorithm now share the same body.

Iryna Khayetska Seguir artista +
Iryna Khayetska is a Ukrainian visual artist, born in 1991, whose passion for painting has been with her since childhood, when colored pencils and paintbrushes were already inseparable companions. Her artistic journey began in Ukraine, but it was in Lisbon, where she moved as a teenager, that she found new avenues for her creative expression.
Specializing in oil, acrylic, and charcoal painting, Iryna combines figurative elements with abstraction, creating works that convey deep emotions and invite reflection. Her inspiration stems from observing nature, people, and the search for harmonious spaces, always reflecting her unique vision of the world.
His work has been presented in several group exhibitions in Portugal, including at the Associação Arca Gallery, at the Hotel The One Palácio da Anunciada and at the Hotel Corinthia, as well as at international events, such as Borders Art Fair in Venice, during the 19th Architecture Biennale, and the Night of Contemporary 2025 in Greece.
Interviewed by NIT magazine and TVI, Iryna shared how art was, and continues to be, a form of therapy and self-discovery. When she paints, she says, "the world stops" and her emotions come to life on canvas. Each work is a reflection of her inner universe, where color, texture, and feeling meet in a continuous dialogue.
